The document outlines different levels and techniques for data presentation in geography. Level 1 involves basic techniques including ICT skills and simple expression of ideas. Level 2 uses an accurate range of techniques including ICT to present and develop information with considerable accuracy. Level 3 uses a more complex range of ICT methods appropriately for the investigation, expressing ideas clearly and precisely. A variety of data presentation techniques are listed including maps, sketches, photos, graphs, overlays and dispersion diagrams, all requiring accuracy with titles, scales etc. More complex techniques involve calculating means and comparing areas using proportional circles or triangular graphs.

1. Mark scheme – Data Pres. Level 1 (1-2 marks) The candidate uses a limited range of basic techniques , some of which are ICT based. Simple ideas expressed. Level 2 (3-4 marks) The candidate uses accurately a range of techniques (ICT based), to present and develop the info. Ideas expressed with considerable accuracy. Level 3 (5-6 marks) Uses a range of more complex methods (ICT) and they are appropriate to their investigation . Ideas expressed clear and precise.

2. You will be expected to produce: Annotated maps Annotated sketches and photos Tables Bar graph Pie Pictogram Divided bars Overlays onto maps, e.g. burgess over map Dispersion Scattergraph Land use maps Proportional circles Triangular graphs ALL to be accurate, titles, scales, etc...

4. Basic = bar graphs and donut (pie) But, still need to be accurate with titles, axis labelled and appropriate.

7. Photos have titles, are annotated and are relevant

8. Photos are clearly linked to specific areas on map = accurate and shows good understanding of settlement topic.

12. Pictograph – excellent way to show visually differences in types of housing – could be used for type of housing in each area....

13. More complex as student looks for the mean and compares with other areas....

15. More complex as proportional circles show totals

16. Complex method which only uses 3 areas so not great but could be used to show differences between CBD, Inner city and RUF?? Triangular graph

17. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient which is complex and follows on from a scatter graph
